  on DailyDirt: Bank Error In Your Favor....
  Card counting works to some extent, but with most casinos running 6+ decks with continuous shufflers, it is largely worthless.

  I like the idea of a painful death for these trolls, but I would really like it to be quick just so we can stop with this ridiculous crap.

  on Another View Of The Netflix Price Hike: It's Speeding Up The Shift To Online Streaming
  I don't know if using plugins like Adblock blocks the ad download or not but if you do the blocking by using a custom hosts file then they will not be download and will not affect your data caps.

  Samsung has it right

  on While Sony Sues Modders, Samsung Sends Them Devices To Mod Faster
  I currently own a Galaxy S (Captivate) and I use Cyanogen 7. Moves like this are a great way to build up your brand and to build up the community around your products. Samsung hasn't done everything related to Android right, but they are really making a smart decision here.

  on Doing A Google Search For 'Blonde' A Firable Offense For High School Teacher
  This is the biggest problem with unions in my opinion. If the employers could hire people not in the union then you have a balance against the union. Since the employers can't hire anyone not in the union, the union gains increased bargaining power. This leads to problems at the negotiating table. If the employer has the ability to higher non union employees then the union has to be sensible in its demands or the employer has the ability to work around them.

  Re: Economics

  on Fantasy Island, Time Warner Style: You WANT To Pay More For Broadband
  You are charged by how much you use for electricity because there is a very real cost depending on how much is used. If you use more electricity the power plant uses more fuel and therefore the cost to you is higher. If you use less then they don't burn fuel and they save money so you are charged less.
  
  With broadband there is a high cost to build the network but once the network is built there is no cost per byte. The network costs are (roughly) the same regardless of if you are at 5% capacity or 90% capacity.

  on Google Found Guilty Of Copyright Infringement In France For Not Magically Blocking Infringing Movie
  If only Google would actually do this. For the average user this would equate to all french websites effectively disappearing from the internet.

  on Photographer Demanding Cash From Sites Using Palin's Official Governor Photo
  It's simple to get around that though. If Palin hires the worker personally to produce the photo then she owns the copyright and can use it however she wants.

  Re: I'll Show Him

  on Court Says Playing Dungeons & Dragons In Prisons Represents Gang Behavior
  Someone from /. said the same thing. The original article you are thinking of I believe was about the filing of this case. Just the fact that the took it away from him because it represented a gang was news but this decision to support that on appeal is even crazier.

  on One Mentally Deranged Shooter Is No Reason To Throw Out The First Amendment
  No in that situation the left would have been silent and the right would have been calling for new laws (ala Patriot Act) to combat terrorism. One side or the other will always jump on any act they believe can push their agenda forward.

  Techincally no one can see your body movement's without the light that is using the electromagnetic spectrum. It gets rather dark and hard to see when you can't use light.

  Re: Libertarians are Split

  on Just Calling Something Property, Doesn't Make It Property
  The problem is, as Mike pointed out, that IP support or lack of does not tend to fall anywhere near party lines. I know people from all sides of the political spectrum that are both for and against IP laws. Personally I'm a libertarian and find IP to be an absurd concept.

  Happened in the UK so it was probably aimed for MI6/James Bond.

  Re: Re: Yelp and free speach

  on Doctor Sues Patients Over Bad Yelp Reviews
  Newegg.com is great about negative comments like that. There is responses from the manufacturer's in the reviews that are almost that exact PR line : "It sounds as if you product was defective, please contact us at xxx-xxx-xxxx to setup a RMA for a new replacement." It really does reflect well on the companies and it's a much better reinforcement then suing someone because they didn't like your product.

  Re: Deal with it.

  on TSA Threatens To Sue Guy For Not Agreeing To Having His Groin Touched By TSA Agents
  This is the exact same argument you hear against warrantless wiretaps and it's just as invalid for this as it is for that. Just because I don't have anything to hide doesn't mean I should willing submit to every encroachment on my rights. The entire process that the TSA goes through is a sham. If someone competent wants to destroy a plane, they will, and no amount of security will be able to deter someone determined to do damage.
